BEST of IPOKRaTES 2027
- April 5 - 7, 2027
- Lecturing Hall LMU University Hospital, Campus Großhadern, LMU Medicine, Munich, Germany
Objectives
IPOKRaTES seminars provide high-quality postgraduate education which enables professionals to keep abreast of the most recent developments and offers participants the opportunity to discuss clinical problems or scientific issues personally with international experts.
During this edition of the Best of IPOKRaTES, we want to not only provide most recent insights of early perinatal management in the delivery room, but we also address fetal and postnatal surgical issues with a special interest in ethical aspects for both preterm and term infants. Nutrition as a key stone for postnatal growth and development is an additional main topic of the symposium.
